What pattern of inheritance would lead a geneticist to suspect that an inherited disorder of cell metabolism is due to a defecti

ve mitochondrial gene
Biology
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This disorder/disease is transmitted by the mother

Explanation:

In humans, mitochondria are inherited from the mother. This genetic phenomenon can be used to trace mitochondrial genetic disorders, as well as to make evolutionary/genealogical studies (for example, in phylogenetics and phylogeographic analysis). In mammal reproduction, male mitochondria from sperm are transferred into the egg cell to be subsequently destroyed by internal processes after fertilization.

Phenylketonuria, PKU, is a single-gene recessive human
astraxan [27]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "p" is responsible for PKU in the homozygous state. According to the given information, both the parents are unaffected by the disorder but have an affected child. This means that both the parents carry at least one copy of the recessive allele responsible for the disease. Therefore, the genotype of each of the parents is Pp. A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in following ratio=

Pp x Pp = 1/4 PP: 1/2/ Pp: 1/4 pp

Therefore, the probability that their next child will carry just one recessive allele is 1/2.

The solutions in the two arms of a U-tube are separated by a membrane that is
IgorC [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Recall that: <em>Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential</em>

Since the system is an open one;

<em>Water potential = solute potential = -iCRT</em>

i = number of particles the molecle will make in water (1)

C = molar concentration

R = Pressure constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole K

T = temperature in kelvin = 22 + 273 = 295 K

To calculate water potential on side A:

C = 1 M

Water potential = - (1 x 1 x 0.0831 x 295) = -24.51 bars

For side B:

C = 2 M

Water potential = - (1 x 2 x 0.0831 x 295) = -49.03 bars

b.

<em>Since side A has higher water potential than side B, water will flow from side A to side B until equilibrium is established between the two sides. Water always flows from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential.</em>
